Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

Although he said he was in seclusion, he actually returned to the piano store.

Unlike Li Hualin, she didn't know what was wrong with her perception this time.

Since I don't know the reason,

You can't just stay in the room and let something come out of it.

So she thought about it and finally came here.

...

The early morning sunlight was a little dazzling, and the window grilles were divided into several pieces by the sunlight projected into the house.

For the first time in decades, Guizhong woke up a little late.

She rubbed her eyes, turned her head to avoid the sunlight, and subconsciously said to the inner room -

"Good morning, Lao Qi..."

The words got stuck in my mouth before I could finish them.

Hmm - Gui finally shook his head.

I almost forgot, he's not here, he has something to do.

With a sense of disobedience that came from nowhere, she yawned and got out of bed.

I brush my teeth alone, make breakfast alone, and walk towards Guiliji alone in the not-so-cool morning breeze.

"Hey, little girl, why are you a little late today? And where is that boy?"

The old men and women on the roadside seemed to be always there, greeting her as usual.

"He has something to do, so he won't come today,"

Gui finally grinned and replied with a smile.

The old people still smiled and said, "Really? Then you will have a hard time today."

I was a little confused about this sentence.

Hard work? How could it be possible?

In the past, when I opened a shop with Laoguai, the business was always neither too much nor too little.

Even if one person is busy,

How can we talk about hard work?

...

It is the time when summer and autumn meet again. The mornings in late autumn are still quite hot.

"Let's walk faster. I'll fan you when we get to the store."

"it is good--"

Perhaps it is a habit formed over decades, but today I still walk very fast.

Even though she got up a little late, she arrived at the door before the sun rose to its full climax.

She looked up at the plaque at the door.

Phew—I have to open the shop alone today.

She squatted down and unlocked the door.

She had been used to this action for decades, and it was almost engraved in her bones.

No, it's not her, it's them.

She suddenly turned her head and looked back at the road she had come from, her sight quickly moving away until the end of the road became a straight line in her eyes.

Only the vortex of sand swirled by the wind,

She stared blankly for a few seconds before turning her head.

What is she looking forward to?

The door opened with a click and the lock opened.

The dust that is usually invisible becomes chaotic in the air as light enters.

Gui finally squatted on the ground and raised his head slightly, looking at the empty store in front of him. Even with the sunlight, it seemed dark.

She suddenly felt that this matter was not so interesting anymore.

For the first time, she felt something different about this matter that had been going on for decades and had never been boring.

"Well, it's actually pretty boring."

Yeah, how can opening a store be interesting?

I have to get up early in the morning, replenish the goods, make them by hand, and sometimes deal with strange customers. What's more, when there are no customers, I have to kill time by myself...

Actually, these things are quite boring.

The slightly scorching sunlight finally shone on her.

...

Of course, being unaccustomed is just being unaccustomed, and the sense of disharmony is just a sense of disharmony.

Guizhong is not a sentimental person, and those feelings do not occupy her whole being.

She couldn't break her decades of persistence just for this one thing.

This store can't possibly close down just because the boss is gone...

What's more, the boss just didn't come because of something, it's not like he will never come again.

And this store's name also has "self", two characters in total, while "Laoguai" only has one...

Pear Blossom Spirit, win!

I said, it's just a weird cricket, it can't affect me or this store at all,

I can live well on my own!

...

Perhaps she succeeded in hypnotizing herself by using the method of mental victory, or perhaps she was trying to prove something in a rather awkward way.

Or maybe, he was more confident in his heart - it was just a day or two, he would come back naturally after he was done with his work.

Finally started trying different things.

...

'Hiss - I've been practicing calligraphy for so many years, why am I still like this...'

'What's wrong? I'm practicing calligraphy. Of course I'm practicing my own handwriting. It's normal to have my own style!'

"No... it's normal, but you're... a little stubborn in your normal way..."

"Dust is formless! As the god of dust, I am also like this."

'...'

...

As I unfolded the paper, a certain conversation inexplicably came to my mind, and I remembered the way he was dumbfounded by my argument.

In the end, I couldn't help but smile.

In the past, it seemed that I was just enjoying his tolerance...or pampering,

She made many excuses...

But at this time...

Maybe I don’t have that kind of thought now.

For some places, she thought more about it——

Dust is formless, the world is formless, even the god of dust is formless...

But some illusory things do have form.

For example...habits.

She suddenly picked up the pen and waved it on the paper.

Soon, a new "Li Zhonggui" appeared on the paper.

Different from the previous "normal" sophistry, the words at this moment, although still a bit weird, have a different flavor.

In other words, it is - it has the shape of He Li.

Gui Zhong was obviously amazed, and she couldn't let go of the calligraphy in front of her.

Subconsciously, she wanted to replace the one on the door.

But...the next moment she stopped.

The words on the door are better.

After all, in "Leaving the End", there are not only two names,

More importantly, it is still the person who puts pen to paper.

When they put pen to paper, they leave their own marks.

...

This shop belongs to them, so it should have the marks of both of them.

...

The shop opened by the boss and the boss lady must have a common mark between the two of them.

This has been Guizhong's idea all along.

But the thought that flashed through his mind at this moment made Guizhong freeze in his tracks.

Then...what about the world that belongs to the mortal world, the world that belongs to humans?

This question came out of nowhere, and from an angle she had never thought of.

Perhaps it was because of her trip with He Li this time, another world gave her some additional thoughts.

The question at this moment seems extremely abrupt.

...

Regarding that question, Guizhong actually gave the answer in his heart a long time ago - it was the Dust Lock.

The world of humans should be controlled by humans themselves.

But as the God of Dust, Guizhong was not at ease to leave like this.

So a 'test' was left - unlock the lock and you will gain all her wisdom.

That wisdom is enough to sustain people for thousands of years.

Without ability, how can we build a world that belongs to human beings?

...

However, this trip to Mond allowed Gui Zhong to see another perspective——

...

"They defeated you and gained their freedom, but how can they resist the wind and snow outside?"

“No, they will not be free until they defeat me. They will be free the moment they raise their weapons against me and fight against ‘unfreedom’.”

As for the wind and snow, I believe that even if I didn't turn into a thousand winds, they would still be able to survive.

They can do it.”

Freedom did not appear after defeating the devil, but when the resistance against "unfreedom" was launched, the wind of freedom was already prevailing in the city.

...

In the end, my heart skipped a beat.

So...what about humans?

What is the true definition of a human city?

Is this really a city that was created after one had passed the tests that he had set and gained wisdom that would last for a thousand years?

So, after they have acquired their own wisdom, are the cities they have built theirs or their own?

Suddenly, Gui Zhong suddenly remembered a sentence He Li said a long time ago -

“So you can give the lock test another answer.

When people are no longer obsessed with pursuing the wisdom of the God of Dust, this city will belong to them."

...

"I see,"

Unbelievable yet logical, in the end there was something more in my heart.

That is a correction, some correction to the dusty mind,

“Maybe I should really trust them more.”

But... this correction is very limited.

It seems like something is missing in my heart.

"What is..."

Finally, I murmured to myself,

It is proof, it is the lack of a proof,

Prove that the light emitted by that extremely weak life is really that bright.

Prove that they not only dare to pursue freedom, but also have the ability to maintain freedom.

Proof that even if they don't have their own wisdom, they are capable of building a city of their own.

Live like a summer flower,

But the splendor of summer flowers still needs her to witness.

"Do things really exist that are worth a person's all-out pursuit, even sacrificing his life for?"

...

When the question was asked, a thunderclap sounded.

It rained suddenly without any warning.

The inky black raindrops were like beads that had broken off the string, hitting the ground again and again, crackling loudly, as if they were going to smash holes in the earth.

The originally clear sky became like a gloomy painting, painted with haze and covered with dark clouds.

"This is..."

Noticing the noise outside, doubt appeared in his eyes.

But the next moment...she suddenly covered her chest,

Pain, extreme pain, like thousands of needles piercing my heart,

In just half a second, her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

But what was worse than the pain was the emptiness in Chen's heart.

It is that connection that exists when the heart is born.

It was actually cut off abruptly at that moment just now.

Strange, he...

impossible!

In the end, he gritted his teeth, killed the thought, endured the pain and forced himself to move to the door.

She is going to find him.

But when she was about to rush into the rain,

Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the door.

he is...

Finally, I caught a glimpse of the shadow on the ground, raised my head with hope,

Just one glance and her heart sank.

This is Ming Hai Qi Xia, who is famous for her speed and has the job of a messenger.

He came here to deliver a message.

As for this message...

Thinking of the heartache she had experienced before, she dared not think about it anymore.

...

Ming Hai Qi Xia looked at Gui Zhong in front of her with a complicated expression.

His lips opened and closed, hesitating, but he finally spoke:

"He Li is dead."
